“In a world where the taste and texture of food is extremely important, individuals known as Bishoku-ya, specialize in the acquisition of rare ingredients and animals. Our protagonist, Toriko, possesses incredible strength and knowledge of the animal kingdom in order to fulfill his dream to capture the most precious foods in the world and create the ultimate dinner course. He is currently accompanied by a weak and timid chef who, inspired by Toriko's ambition, travels with him to improve his culinary skills and find rare ingredients.”

Ok, it MUST be me, but I honestly TRIED to watch this show! I could barely get through the first episode without being bored to tears--the same with Gintama (I stopped at episode 10 because I couldn't take it anymore--bored to tears).

Really, what's with the appeal? I know it's immensely popular, but I just don't see it.
